Taper threading is not a usual practice in cnc machine workshops, but sometimes customer want a component with taper threading, So here is the solution. Taper threading on a cnc lathe machine with Fanuc control is just easy with Fanuc G76 threading cycle. Fanuc CNC control threading cycle G76 gives us lot of flexibility.CNC Programming tapered threading with Fanuc threading cycle G76 is not that difficult, just one parameter have to add.

Other parameter of Fanuc threading cycle G76 are explained here.
The R parameter in second block of G76 is the tapered value. Note that R is given as Radius value.
How to calculate R parameter for Tapered Threading on Fanuc with G76 Threading Cycle.
R = (Start Diameter – End Diameter) / 2
